    It turned out my battery was loose in front and the positive cable that runs to the main fuse box was rubbing up against the body shorting things out momentarily. Ultimately it cut right through the cable and the car died at that point and needed to be flat-bedded to shop. Look at your battery and the positive cables that run close to the passenger side front quarter panel.

    You may also try cleaning up (or removing) the battery cutoff switch that runs from the negative cable of the battery.
